Ladakh Marathon

The Ladakh Marathon draws approximately 1,200 finishers each September on a high-altitude road in Leh, India. Altitude is the race's defining challenge, making modest paces feel far harder than sea-level equivalents. The route passes monasteries, barren mountain vistas, and open roads under the Himalaya's stark desert landscape. Thin air at altitude is the main pacing challenge despite a flat layout.
